Equipment
Ingredients
- 8 apples peeled, cored, and thinly sliced (a firm baking apple like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp holds its shape best here — very soft apples like Red Delicious can turn mushy)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ cup white sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 sheets puff pastry thawed if frozen
- 1 large egg beaten, for egg wash
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples.8 apples
- Scatter the white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt over the apples. Toss well, then set aside while the oven finishes preheating — this gives the apples time to release their juices.1 tsp ground cinnamon, ¼ tsp ground nutmeg, ¼ cup white sugar, ¼ cup brown sugar, Pinch of salt
- Take one sheet of puff pastry and press it into the pie dish, trimming the edges to within 1 inch of the rim.2 sheets puff pastry
- Add the cornstarch to the apple mixture and toss again until evenly coated.2 tbsp cornstarch
- Pour the apples into the pastry-lined dish, then pour in about 1 cup of the juice that's collected at the bottom of the bowl.
- Roll out the second sheet of puff pastry and cut it into strips. Arrange the strips over the apples in a lattice pattern.
- Trim any excess dough from the strips, then fold the overhanging edges underneath to form a thick, sealed rim.
- Brush the whole top with the beaten egg.1 large egg
- Bake for 40 minutes, or until the pastry is deep golden brown.
Notes
Puff pastry must stay cold before baking; only add back 1 cup of collected apple juice, not all of it.
